Howard Dean, former chairman of the Democratic National Committee, will attend a fundraising breakfast in Syracuse Friday morning in support of Dan Maffei, the Democratic candidate for the 24th Congressional district.

Dean posted the plans Sunday on his Twitter account:

“@GovHowardDean @SandraFluke @DanMaffeiNY @RepBuerkle I’ll be in Dan’s district for a breakfast Friday. Time to get the extremists out of Congress.”
